Socket size required for L3130 rear axle nut?

[Zeeb]

Putting tools together for a rear axle seal replacement on a tractor some distance from my base of operations. The parts are with the tractor. Per the WSM, the rear axle nut will have to be torqued to 140 ft. lbs on reassembly. Could someone tell me the socket size I will need for that nut? Can't find that info in the WSM. Thanks!

I think it's a M39 x 1.5 but I'd wait for someone with an L3130 to chime in to make sure.

FYI: That's a single use nut, your supposed to put a new nut on it when you rebuild it.
